Ferries depend indeed. The ones Dumps mentiones in the north of Amsterdam (if you walk out of the central station you see those ferries) are free. The ones near my house are pretty cheap. Somewhere between 50cents and 1 euro, depending on the ferry. There's a ferry between Rotterdam and Dordrecht and I think it's about 2 euro's.
About the frequency:
Most smaller ferries (like you posted) just keep on traveling if there are people waiting. There's no real schedule. If you are waiting they will cross the river to pick you up. The bigger ones have a schedule and you might have to wait for 30 minutes.
Attaque84, if you are going to cycle over Arcen you better stop there. There's a brewery from Hertog Jan. Make sure you got an appointment. It's a really nice brewery and they let you taste a lot of beer.
At the end of your route you could (if you have time) make a detour around Valkenburg. That town is like a cyclist town. It's a real tourist place with roadies everywhere. The biggest hills in our country are there. Lot's of friendly people as well. Nice cycling paths and most of the people driving a car are used to cyclists.
And if you have some spare time when you're in Heerlen you could cycle to Gulpen and visit the Gulpener brewery or to Brand in Wijlre. Always make an appointment though.
